As we speak, [Michael] Bay is shooting a sequel that has even more U.S. military hardware on display, according to USA Today. The director set up shop at White Sands, a test range in New Mexico, standing in for Egypt, where the new movie’s climactic battle takes place. “As far as I know, this is the biggest joint military operation movie ever made,” said Bay’s liaison officer from the Army.

I saw this covered in Entertainment Tonight a while ago. In all seriousness, I want to know why the AF would use F22s and not use A10s, which would seem to be much more capable against giant metal robots. That is, other than the obvious reason that the AF wants Congress to buy more F22s and not more A10s.

Several issues…

Michael Bay’s affection for the F-22 is another reason to hate Michael Bay.

I would imagine that an A-10 would be superior against any ground based Transformer; however, since Starscream is, actually, an F-22, it’d probably be best to leave his destruction to other F-22s. Or Su-30s, or something.

I cannot believe that I’m actually going to see this movie, in spite of hating everything else Michael Bay has made and hating the first film. God, I hate Michael Bay.
